LOGIN"Barrister Dash... what do you mean my father wants me to marry all three of these men?" "It's only for one year, Miss Wellington. Fulfill the Trust Mandate, and the Wellington empire is yours." One year. Billionaire CEO Salma Wellington can survive one year. Her heart already belongs to another woman, and nothing—not even her late father's final wish—can change that. Or so she thinks. What begins as a simple contractual arrangement quickly unravels into something far more dangerous. Beneath the Wellington fortune lies a legacy of carefully buried secrets, impossible obligations, and enemies who have waited years for Arthur Wellington's death. The deeper Salma is pulled into her father's world, the more she realizes the man who built the empire planned far beyond his own lifetime. The three men she once saw as strangers slowly become her greatest strength, turning an arrangement built on duty into an unexpected family worth fighting for. Just when Salma begins to believe she has found happiness, the people she loves become the enemy's greatest target. Betrayals strike from the shadows, loyalties are tested, innocent blood is spilled, and every decision she makes carries consequences that can never be undone. Every answer uncovers another lie. Every choice tightens a trap she never saw coming. And by the time Salma understands the true price of her inheritance, walking away is no longer an option. As war closes in, contract marriages become unbreakable bonds, strangers become family, and every victory demands an unbearable sacrifice. Because some inherit wealth. Salma Wellington inherited a legacy written in blood... and after losing everything she holds dear, she must decide whether to become the leader her father prepared her to be—or let the Wellington empire die with her.

Archives of the man who had, according to official records, been dead for five years now ran alongside fresh investigations into Vostok Global Holdings.The company had collapsed under the revelation. Its accounts were frozen, contracts were voided, and political and corporate partners who had done business with Vostok Global Holdings were scrambling to distance themselves. Some issued statements claiming limited contact or complete ignorance, while others disappeared from public view.Medical examiners had published an official autopsy report and death certificate, and even online blogs had uncovered where he was buried and pointed out that the pictures being used of him were AI-generated. His recent interviews were also being dissected, with the heavy editing now obvious.Salma watched the coverage with a satisfied smile. She always had the upstairs sitting room TV
Two weeks after the bombing that killed Dash, she had tried to mask the pain that came with the death of Barrister Dash. Dr. Aris had cleared her to move about to reduce the swelling around her leg—the twins were stable, and her cervix had closed back up, with no further signs of distress. At six months, she was double her weight, and the bed rest was making her slower. Salma woke to the faint scent of the jasmine oil Adam had left burning on the side table the night before. She sat up as Shane walked into the room holding a shopping bag. “Good morning, sunshine.” He leaned in and kissed her forehead. “Morning.” She mumbled and closed her eyes, inhaling his scent. “I got you these.” He said and handed her the bag. She looked into it. It held two fabrics and what seemed like foot warmers. “What’s this?” she asked, looking at him. “Comfy maternity gowns and leg warmers, the weather would be getting cold soon.” She smiled at him as she brought out the first soft fabric from the b
“What happened to Dash?” she asked Adam as he sat speechless on the bed, the phone lying beside him.“It was his wife... he got a letter bomb,” Adam said as he stood and walked around the bed to the door.Salma was up before he could reach the door, but a little wave of dizziness washed over her. She propped herself against the headboard and waited until it cleared. Adam came back towards her.“You should be in bed, babe,” he said.She raised a hand towards him in silence as the dizziness dispersed.“I’m fine,” she said, walking to her closet.“Salma... you’re...”“I said I’m fine, Adam.” She struggled with her nightwear trousers. “I stay in bed and these bastards keep killing my people!” Her voice broke.Adam stood looking at her.“They have taken everything from me at this point. Our babies, they fucking blew up my company! Even my father’s wife... in her home!” Her voice cracked.“Now Barrister Dash.” She couldn’t stop the frustrated tears that fell from her eyes.Adam pulled up be
Salma had been on bed rest for a week now. Sovereign seemed to have gone quiet, with no new attacks. Wellington Tower had been completely repaired, and operations had resumed as normal.She lay in bed in her suite, on a Zoom call with their Bangkok clients. Susan, her new PA, was efficient, she had sent her a lot of files to her email. Salma had spent all morning reviewing them.She sat propped against the pillows in her bed, a tablet balanced on the curve of her stomach. The twins had become even more active as she approached six months, kicking and moving around at the slightest sound, especially at the voices of her husbands. The bleeding had stopped, and at this point, she felt well rested, but Dr. Aris wouldn't let her off. He demanded that she continue bed rest because stopping the bleeding didn't mean the pregnancy was safe.Outside the windows, the afternoon light was soft. Inside, the room still carried the faint scent of the flowers Devon changed every morning. Sovereign's s
